Playing PAL PS2 games on an NTSC PS2

I added Legend of Kay to the list of games with a PAL/NTSC selector.

 

I fixed my worms problem, here's what i did:
The problem was the iso itself, what i did was extract the files of the iso, then i loaded them in a program called "PS2 CDGENPS2 3.0", and made my own cd image, and then burned it!
Maybe it can help some of u guys with a bad game rip

 

It depends on which Worms game you are talking about. If it is Worms 3D, then the problems are pretty simple. Worms Forts has quite a few little glitches that are magnified quite a bit by the NTSC and Y-Fix patches. The FMVs don't work on NTSC systems, so they need to be disabled or swapped out for Default.pss files, and the NTSC + Y-Fix tends to break the executable unless you also add the P/N selector.

I also dummied Worms Forts to fix some of the loading issues (speed-wise) with a 1:1 copy. Seems Sega doesn't know how to protect data from rippers, but I don't mind. I do mind that they don't seem to know how to layout the CD for speed.

 

I have tried everything to try to patch Tekken Tag Tournament iso from pal to ntsc but nothing works. I have wasted like 25 CDs. What else can you recommend?

 

You can use cheat codes.

These codes will work for Gameshark v3-4 or Codebreaker v1-9

(M) - Mastercode (Must be on)
F03572A0 004066F3

60 hz - Run the game in NTSC format
203F7A44 24120002

Y-Fix - This will center the screen
003F7C9C 00000010
003F7CFC 00000010
003F7D40 00000010
003F7DC0 00000010

 

If a want to run a PAL Game in NTSC With gameShark i need a "hard part" or just the cd of gameshark?

 

You don't need the dongle. You need the cd and a regular ps2 memory card. Not all games can be patched to NTSC using cheat codes. Read the faq in my first post for more information about using cheat codes to patch from PAL to NTSC.

 

Thanks! i will read it and i will download GameShark to see if i can run 2 games that i have in PAL.

 

Update - Added Ski Racing 2005 featuring Hermann Maier to the list of games that wont work with PS2 PAL TO NTSC PATCHER WITH Y-FIX V1.05 BETA.

 

Hey i rented Killzone, ripped it and then burned it so i could have my own copy. the copy worked with my swap magic cd for about 2 days, and now it wont load any levels. it is extrememly slow and at the load level screen, the bar will completely go from left to right, but just stops. the dvd is still spinning tho. i can see the laser at the tip of the disc (like the actual red light..i modded my p2s so there is a translucent lid) Is this because of my dvd media? It is 8x. i dont understand why it is not working....just keeps spinning, the same problem with spiderman2

I think this can happen sometimes when you burn your ps2 dvd/cd at high speeds (usually 2x is suggested). So what happens is either the game wont boot at all, or it will stop working at a certain point of the game. Try loading it without your saves, if it works (on the first levels) it probably means your cd/dvd is corrupt at the point you got to (exampe 9th level..).

What you could do is, if you still have the image on your comp, burn it at a slower speed.

 

Update -

Added - RC Toy Machines to the list of games that don't work with PS2 PAL TO NTSC PATCHER WITH Y-FIX V1.05 BETA.

Added - List of games that will work with the ADR Patcher but not PS2 PAL TO NTSC PATCHER WITH Y-FIX V1.05 BETA.

 

dunno if u already know from this game : megaman x8 PAL has a PAL/NTSC selector , just at the start of the game...

 

Thanks, I'll add it to the list.

 

Hi,
I dl'd Legend of Kay, and I selected 60 Hz, but the game is showing up in black and white. Was there something I missed? Thanks.

**edit: Please disregard, it works, haha.

 

Update -

I changed the layout of the first post and added some new games to the list.

 

getaway pal works with p/n selector patch

 

For people like bossplaya and I, the patched version has a delay with the audio and video.

I'm using a DMS3 modchip flashed to 2.2. This problem has been discussed by other DMS3 users at the DMS forums as well. What chip do you use? It could be a DMS issue.
